Despre rescrierea istoriei ca parabolă – Dumitru Radu Popa, „Un aparat de pe timpuri”

Abstract

In Dumitru Radu Popa’s short story, the totalitarian parable specifically
juxtaposes fiction, metafiction and the semantic palimpsest. In his narrative, Un aparat
de pe timpuri / An Old-fashioned Device, the writer inserts the inter - / meta-text
within the biographic level so as to redefine his own literary and political ideology.
